Failing to Capture Cool: Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Happy springtime! In the shadow of the new series dramatising the fictionalised trials and tribulations of this fictionalised 70's rock band, I explore Taylor Jenkins Reid attempt to capture that time but missing something essential about why we're so intrigued and obsessed: the music and the cool. I explore the limits of genre, what even is cool and how she should have been braver and just written a biography of Fleetwood Mac.
